A 72-year-old man with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the tracheal bifurcation node received combination chemotherapy and subsequently developed a fistula in spite of remission of the lymphoma. Conservative therapy did not heal the fistula formation, and we chose bypass surgery using a gastric tube without thoracotomy. Ten months postoperatively, there is no evidence of lymphoma relapse and the patient lives a normal life. We consider this procedure as an available treatment for esophagobronchial fistula in case of failure to cure fistula communication by conservative therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
